Floribunda

Beautiful flowers form an abundant bouquet, specially selected, from among Rosina Haskell’s garden of fashion delights.

Rosina Haskell is an integral force in the creation of two of the UK’s most beloved doll collections: Anouk by Nav Sikand and Lilli Lalka 2 by Julian S. Kalinowski. The delightful designer’s fashions for both doll lines exemplify classic elegance and demonstrate a deep understanding and an expert application of the lexicon of vintage fashion.

Haskell loves Jackie Kennedy and the Oleg Cassini designs that she wore and considers the former First Lady a massive influence, as well as Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. Lady Penelope, from the Gerry Anderson’s “Supermarionation” show Thunderbirds, also inspires Haskell design choices and confesses only watching the series to see what the ever-elegant blonde was wearing. A self-professed fan of Princess Diana and her style, Haskell feels that no one comes close to becoming the style icon that she was.

For this Dolldom entry, Haskell designs a tour de force wardrobe for Anouk and Lilli Lalka 2 and in so doing creates a fragrant tribute to vintage style.
